(!) BRAKE (P) Light always on

Just started about a week ago, but the brake light was coming on once in awhile, especially during acceleration, but now it's reached the point where the only time the light isn't illuminated is under heavy braking. Whether the car is idling, accelerating, or just running steadily, the brake light remains illuminated. It's not causing any issues with the car as far as I can tell, but It gets on my nerves a bit. Anyone know what might be going on?

check all the plugs for the abs on all four wheels. it might just be a loos connection.

Check your brake fluid

Definitely check the brake fluid. Same light came on in my car and the fluid was just low

Brake fluid isn't desperately low, but maybe could use a top-off, I'll see what results that will yield..

Mine wasn't very low either, but it still caused the light to come on

Could be the e-brake. Reach down and jiggle the foot pedal, does the light go off ?
